As an artist, I use or make objects that reference aspects of society. But what happens when the very object that is used to inform society is seen as a superficial object offering only aesthetic seduction ? What happens when a viewer is interested in the objects surface but does not see the underlying deeper meaning of it?
In what ways are we stopped or limited in our creative practices? What do we rely on within our work? How are objects freeing and/or weighted with history?
